So, will this anti-Flynn judge drop the case? Well, Margot Cleveland wrote in The Federalist that he could opt to keep this clown show going:
as the respondent to Flynns petition for mandamus, Sullivan has the same options a normal litigant would have, including seeking review of the panel decision by the entire D.C. Circuit or requesting review by the United States Supreme Court.
Given that Judge Robert Wilkins dissented from the majority opinion, authored by Judge Neomi Rao and joined by Judge Karen Henderson, Sullivan might just opt for open defiance. Such a course of action would be a mistake, though, as Rao penned a cautious opinion, focused on separation-of-powers concerns, that has an extremely limited reach. The majority opinion eviscerated every argument presented in Wilkins dissent.
Rarely do federal appellate courts go en banc to rehear a case with narrow reach, and it would be even rarer for the Supreme Court to intervene in a case unlikely ever to arise again.
So Sullivans chances of success are low, and any attempt to push forward now would only fossilize his already-bare anti-Trump and anti-Flynn bias. Sullivans better course of action would be to immediately grant the governments motion to dismiss in a short order that framed his earlier rulings and his appointment of an amicus as a concern for transparency. Then, by feigning disgust over the brief Gleeson submitted, Sullivan could extricate himself from the swamp he created.
If he were wise, Sullivan would also make note of the additional exculpatory evidence just turned over by the Department of Justice.

Then just ignore him...
Consequences would be the destruction of his reputation. Now, if he cares not for that then, sure, hell go scorched earth on this.
And leftists are doing that. They are desperate.
His reputation is only burnished among Democrats by continuing to abuse Flynn. That’s all he cares about.
Leftists are not desperate. This how they always conduct political warfare. They fight for every inch every day of the year.

You think he cares about being thought a fool? There is obviously a big reason they want to keep Flynn quiet and I fully expect Sullivan to keep it up.
The word ‘m**ter’ is no longer available for use. Trigger word.
The judiciary once cared about IMPROPRIETY.
now the blackrobes are shown to be as trustable
as the FIB or WHO.
After the dirtiest judge in history,
we will NEVER trust a US judge again.
Roberts....the hole card for lefty revolutionaries.
Such defiance of an appeals court ORDER would set a horrible precedent and further embolden activist judges.

THEN he could resign and spend the rest of his worthless life cleaning toilets and apologizing for being one of the world’s biggest assholes.
“...Ultimately, Sullivan knows he has Judge Roberts on his side....”
Without a doubt. Roberts cannot afford to have his alleged and quite revealing Epstein Island pics revealed to the public.
“We see horrible precedents being set because of the left.”
We are a lawless society. When those who control access to the legal system, and administer it, are lawless, there is no equity or justice under the law.
When governors and mayors allow mobs to run free in the streets, damaging property and people, society is lawless.
When government leaders, without shame, promote a legal system in which those who are members of the state’s inner circle holding offices of high trust (Hillary Clinton, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan) are not accountable to the laws average citizens are held to, the society is lawless.
When any lower court judge can stay or strike down a law, or executive order, on his own authority, the society is lawless.
When the Supreme Court can rewrite legislation passed by Congress, thereby usurping the powers of the legislative (i.e. people’s) branch, the society is lawless.
When different standards are applied to individuals in the legal system, based on the skin color, sexual orientation, or religion, the society is lawless.
When government leaders encourage and condone flagrant violation of laws by groups or individuals, the society is lawless.
When government stops protecting citizens from invasion, crime, confiscation or destruction of property, and punishes citizens for protecting themselves, the society is lawless.
When public officials use the power of the state to take a citizens property for the benefit of another citizen or organization (Kelo decision), the society is lawless.
When government or interest groups target citizens for exercising free speech, and destroy the targets economically and socially, the society is lawless.
When government taxes citizens to provide benefits to non-citizens or criminals, the society is lawless and predatory.
Freedom does not exist in a lawless society.
The United States in 2020 is a lawless society.
He will, under orders of the Democrat/Left Party, do everything and anything possible to extend this to the first Tuesday in November.
He’s an Obama butt boy....
Well said and wish I could disagree with you. What the Democrat governors and mayors have done to their cities is now the putrid icing on the cake.
The Flynn case shows the systematic racism in the Federal Government... against White heterosexual Christian men.

Any white male working for the federal government is very aware of the blatant discrimination and favoritism that they will face. Despite the benefits and security associated with a federal job its no place for ambitious white guys.

But brother trump is taking him all the way to the plane. This will be a lot of fun. Trump outs the “real” left like nobody I’ve ever seen. They have been exposed but this is only the beginning.
Yep, Sullivan's White whale
